MDC-T calls for emergence meeting to consider pulling out of GNU

MDC spokesman Nelson Chamisa said last night what made the latest episode unfortunate was the fact that that it came on the back of a series of acts of bad faith by their partners in the GNU.

“Half the permanent secretaries appointed should be taken out of Zanu-PF’s hands, otherwise the MDC will walk away from the GNU,” Chamisa said.

It’s believed the opposition is reeled with Robert Mugabe’s unilateral appointment of permanent secretaries, as a serious breach of the GNU agreement.

The Zimbawean strongman Robert Mugabe yesterday appointed permanent secretaries from a pool of his long time cronies, retired military and Central Intelligence Organisation officers, raising further doubts to his commitment to power sharing government.

Last night a top CIO agent pointed out to our reporter a number names on the list of retired military, police and CIO officers.

MDC Ministers will now work with retired army officers and spy agents masquerading as permanent secretaries and they report directly to Robert Mugabe and for them allegiance to the Commander in Chief unquestionable.

The Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet Dr Misheck Sibanda said appointments in the remaining ministries and departments in the Office of the President and Cabinet, the offices of the Vice Presidents, the Office of the Prime Minister and the offices of the Deputy Prime Ministers will be made in due course.

Mugabe appointed Dr Ray Ndhlukula as his Deputy Chief Secretary for Policy Co-ordination and Administration and Cabinet while Retired Colonel Christian Katsande becomes the Deputy Chief Secretary in the Department of Economic Research and Policy Analysis in the Office of the President and Cabinet.

The permanent secretaries appointed are:
